Lucky people see the positive side of their bad luck
Research suggests that athletes who win Olympic bronze medals are happier than those who win silver medals. The silver medalists focus on the notion that if they had performed slightly better, then they would have perhaps won a gold medal. In contrast, the bronze medalists focus on the thought that if they had performed slightly worse, then they wouldn’t have won anything all.
Many unlucky people see nothing but misery and despair when they imagine themselves experiencing bad luck. Lucky people tend to imagine spontaneously how the bad luck they encounter could have been worse, and in doing so, they feel much better about themselves and their lives. This helps keep their expectations about the future high and increases the likelihood of continuing to live a lucky life.
